REAL SUCCESS - what is it and how can we achieve it with guest Lee Jackson | What is real success? So often people strive for something and when they get there, they realize that they are not as fulfilled as they expected to be. Sometimes this includes something else falling apart like an important relationship or their health. When it comes to business behaviours such as those we see on reality shows like ‘The Apprentice’, there is often a mismatch between the behaviours needed to win and what we would term as some of the real success behaviours. I don't know about you but I often cringe watching it. During this show, we are going to discuss what real success is, based on significant research and define some of the key principles behind it. I am delighted to be doing this with speaker and author Lee Jackson. Having recently watched Lee do a fabulous presentation on success principles and also been very inspired by the way he has chosen lead his life, I thought he would be fabulous guest. | 2/24/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Special Encore Presentation: TEAMS - How do you create a great team to achieve more? | We have all been part of teams that have been successful, and some that have simply not worked. Why is it that some teams achieve great things, yet others show such promise and end in failure?

During this show we are going to really explore how to achieve high performance within a team, with someone who knows first hand. Kathy Tracey has experienced significant team success in her sporting endeavours, representing New Zealand in the national Kayak team and then claiming both a world record and world first by rowing across the Atlantic in a women's 4's crew. She is also a business owner and an expert in organizational management and leadership development. If you want to hear more about developing successful teams and the impact that Kathy, enduring 12 days of continuous sea sickness, had on the crew, then do join the show. | 11/25/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ROMANCING THE CUSTOMER - ™ - achieve more with strategies that keep your customers in love with your brand | Building exceptional customer relationships can mean the difference between a business which prospers and one that simply gets by. Avoiding promiscuous customer behaviour by building meaningful relationships will encourage long-term brand fidelity. Angi Egan, consultant, speaker and author of Romancing the Customer™ says 'this encourages a more considered, seductive approach rather than the costly one-night stand. It takes time to build brand equity and the ‘romancing’ is what we need to do brilliantly in terms of service excellence and client care'. Angi is looking forward to sharing these secrets including educating the less romantic amongst us (like your show host) to ensure we remain relevant, captivating and as Angi would put it 'totally desirable'. If you are sceptical you should see Angi’s client list, which includes some of the biggest and most exclusive global retail brands. Listen and who knows, it might not just be your customers who find you more desirable! | 11/4/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

BEYOND INSPIRATION - Secrets for transforming good intentions into great results | As you've probably already noticed, having good intentions is not good enough. To achieve great results, you must follow through. Unfortunately, however, following through is much easier said than done. Dr Steve Levinson, who may be the world's leading authority on following through, shares his surprising discovery about the root cause of poor follow through. He not only explains why even the most highly motivated people often fail to do what they intend to do, he offers bold new strategies for transforming your good intentions into great results. A clinical psychologist, inventor, author and entrepreneur who's not afraid to speak very directly, he will challenge the way you think about and treat your own good intentions.

PURPOSE. WHY do you do what you do? We can all say “what” it is we do, but do you know your “why” ? | We have all seen them…., those people out there that seem to just let challenges brush off them, make decisions with certainty and most of the time seem to be the right ones, … the ones who seem really “nice” people yet have an inner strength at their core that you just know drives everything they do, and how they do it. PURPOSE ! ……. The title says it all. When most people assume that it is money, power and things that they hunt, the truth can be found when we bother to first truly understand ourselves. In 2010, I attended the ‘Professional Speaking Association’ annual conference which show cased some of the top International speakers in the industry. There were some wonderful speeches, however, one person from my perspective brought the house down. That person was - speaker, author, BBC broadcaster, adventurer, father, husband, David Hyner. Join us and find out more about this essential success component and how to discover and live your purpose. | 9/30/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
